papertrey april blog hop

It's time for another blog hop again over at Papertrey Ink.

This month is all about creating a project that features something tilted. Here is this month's inspiration photo.

I made 2 projects for this blog hop. First up is a card made with my new Mini Blooms set. I got this set last March but never really had the chance to play with it until now. I love the little blooms on this set and I used them to build my background. Here is my card...

Here's a side view look of the card. I first created my card panel and then later adhered it to the base using some foam adhesives.

For my next project, I created a layout. I recently bought the SN@P collection from Simple Stories. I decided that eventhough I am not making Project Life albums, I can still create layouts of our everyday. This collection makes it so easy to put together a page so I may just create layouts for all of the little things we do daily, ha!

Here is my tilted layout. I am not a big fan of anything tilted (that's just how my brain works!) but I can say that I am happy with how this layout came out (still clean and fun which is what I am going for).

Here's a close up of my journaling... I have recently grown fond of printing my journaling directly to a journaling tag. I first printed it on a regular copy paper. Then using a small piece of washi tape, I adhered my journaling tag on said copy paper (after eyeballing to my preferred spot where I want it printed) and ran it through my printer again. Makes it faster for me especially if I do not want to use my own handwriting.
